My partner and I went here for a quick dinner date night. The place is really cool and modern, appearing very clean and with a nice atmosphere! They had great classic rolls, and signature rolls, for decent prices. I highly recommend this place for either a cute, quick date, or a great time with friends! Really good service too.

We used to frequent this spot as their sushi burrito is pretty good. Well, after today we will no longer order from here.The Salmon Poke bowl had 6 little 1/2" cubes of salmon... about 1/4 cup of rice and rest veggies.You can see after mixing the bowl... you can't even see where the rice and salmon is.Ambiance - never eaten inside. Always been carry out.

My son and I went here on a weeknight and we were able to get a seat easily. Sakae is located near the corner of Camp McDonald Road and Des Plaines River Road, and has a spacious parking lot. The dining area is a good size, with roughly 7 or so tables and chairs, and a TV on one wall. We ordered:Tofu Yaki Udon Stir-Fried Udon Noodles with Tofu, Vegetables & Special House Sauce. Yellow tail roll -- the typical roll with yellow tail in the middleGold Rush 1848 roll, which had Grilled Eel, Spicy Crab & Grilled White Tuna With Avocado & Gold Flake. The gold flakes really drew my son in.Alligator Roll which had Eel & Shrimp Tempura with Crunch & AvocadoTonkotsu Ramen was the traditional ramen you expect, with creamy pork Broth, Pork Belly, Onion. The pork belly on this dish was phenomenal... so tender and flavorful.Our meals came with miso soup, which was a nice touch, especially on a cold winter evening. Service was prompt, food came out fast, and the overall experience was good.BATHROOM REVIEW: Located off to the side, near the back, the men's bathroom was single-person, although there is a urinal and a toilet. I always wondered in those situations, do I lock the door? I mean, I suppose someone is free to use the urinal while I do a #2 on the toilet? Either way, all was in working order, things were fairly clean, the sink was in working order. Decent bathroom. Sit or squat? Squat.

My friends have ordered take out before, but we decided to go eat at the restaurant this time. We ordered:- Miso Ramen- Playboy roll- OMG roll- Crunch Munch- California rollI'm not a huge fan of ramen in general, but I really liked the miso ramen! The noodles were legit and chewy, and the broth was subtle in flavor, soupy, and hot. I would order this again on a cold day!The playboy roll is spicy! The red sauce on top packs a little bit of heat, but the jalapeno on top...that'll burn your tongue and probably make your eyes water and nose run if you eat the whole roll. Everything about it was fresh, but it wasn't my favorite because the spice took away from the taste.The crunch munch is one of my favorite rolls because I love shrimp. It is simple and packs good flavor. And the California roll is a California roll haha. It was good, but didn't have unique flavors like the other rolls.Onto the service and atmosphere!The customer service was great, even though we did wait a bit before we got to order. There was only one waiter and she was busy looking after the rest of the 5-7 tables. She was super friendly! The atmosphere was very welcoming, cute, and clean too. Even though the restaurant is kind of small at first glance, it's actually perfect inside.Overall, I enjoyed everything and I would come back to try more ramen and other rolls. :)

Went here on a weeknight for sushi with family. The seating area is limited, but it wasn't very busy. We sat at the furthest table from the entrance which sat the 4 of us. There was just enough room at the table for the 4 of us, however the seats were quite uncomfortable. Our waitress brought us menus and water and after we had a chance to look through the menus we placed our orders. We each ordered miso soup which is 'free' as well as our sushi or entree. They had a tv on the wall streaming ChiveTV muted which was really entertaining and distracting at the same time. The sushi I ordered was good. I didnt really have any complaints except some of the rolls fell apart when I picked them up with chopsticks, some weren't rolled tight enough perhaps. Also, some pieces of the rolls were squished together a little too hard so they were hard to separate. All the ingredients tasted good and made for a good dinner. I got a spicy tuna roll, a Philadelphia roll, an Alaskan roll, and a piece of eel, salmon, and tuna nigiri. The eel nigiri was very good, as was the salmon. The tuna nigiri was fine too. The spicy tuna filling in the spicy tuna roll was less processed than at other sushi places which was a welcome change. The spice level on it was good too. I liked the Philadelphia roll as well and it cooled off my mouth from the spicy tuna. The alaskan roll was also good. Not the biggest rolls in the world, but not small either. I was definitely full afterwards. The rolls were about 7 or 8 dollars each and the nigiri were about 4 dollars each. That's comparable to what Id pay for all you can eat, but I wasnt in pain from eating too much after this . Would come back again.

I'm not quite sure what the high review is all about. I ordered the I love sushi meal and for $30 the fish weren't fresh and the portions were really small. I mean for $30 they could have added a little bit more since there is no salad or rice that comes with this meal. The service was ok but I'm definitely not coming back to this place.
